Fix parsetree representation of XMLTABLE(XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT ...)).

The original coding for XMLTABLE thought it could represent a default
namespace by a T_String Value node with a null string pointer.  That's
not okay, though; in particular outfuncs.c/readfuncs.c are not on board
with such a representation, meaning you'll get a null pointer crash
if you try to store a view or rule containing this construct.

To fix, change the parsetree representation so that we have a NULL
list element, instead of a bogus Value node.

This isn't really a functional limitation since default XML namespaces
aren't yet implemented in the executor; you'd just get "DEFAULT
namespace is not supported" anyway.  But crashes are not nice, so
back-patch to v10 where this syntax was added.  Ordinarily we'd consider
a parsetree representation change to be un-backpatchable; but since
existing releases would crash on the way to storing such constructs,
there can't be any existing views/rules to be incompatible with.

Per report from Andrey Lepikhov.
